Description

Monepantel is organic anthelmintic, and acts as a positive allosteric modulator of a nematode-specific clade of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunits.

In Vitro

The metallocenyl analogues of monepantel shows nematocidal activity[1]. Monepantel (25 µM) induces accumulation of acidic vacuoles. Ovarian cancer cell lines are highly sensitive to Monepantel with IC50 values of 7.2±0.2 µM (OVCAR-3) and 10.5±0.4 μM (A2780). Monepantel (0, 10 and 25 µM) induces autophagosome formation in these cancer cell lines. Monepantel (0, 10 and 25 µM) exhibits a markedly reduced level of punctate staining indicating the suppression of phosphorylated mTOR at Ser2448. Monepantel also decreases the expression of phosphorylated Raptor at Ser792, which is one of the mTORC1 coMonepantelex members[2]. Monepantel (250 μg/mL) leads multiple ABC transporter genes higher transcription in both worm isolates. Larvae exposed to monepantel at 250 μg/mL shows an increased efflux of rhodamine-123 and a proportion of the larval population shows an ability to subsequently tolerate higher concentrations of IVM in migration assays[3].

In Vivo

Monepantel (10 μM) significantly increased all CYP-related activities and CYP3A24 mRNA in sheep[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.28 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.28 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Kinase Assay
[2]

Caspase-3 and -8 colorimetric assay kits are used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, after treatment the cells with indicated concentration of Monepantel (0, 10 and 25 µM) for 48 and 72 h, cells are harvested, centrifuged at 250 g for 10 min. The cell pellet lysed by the addition of the lyses buffer, then incubated on ice for 10 min followed by centrifugation at 10,000 g for 5 min. The supernatant is used to start the enzymatic reaction in 96 well plates based on manufacturer protocol. Each concentration is tested in replications of 4 and each experiment is repeated twice.

Cell Assay
[2]

The effect of monepantel with or without other agents on cell proliferation is assessed using the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. Briefly, cells are seeded in 96-well plates (2500 cells/well) overnight followed by treatment with desired concentrations of Monepantel. After 72 h cells are fixed with 200 µL of 0.1% TCA, washed with tap water and stained with 100 µL of 0.4% (w/v) SRB dissolved in 1% acetic acid. Unbound dye is removed by five ishes with 1% acetic acid before air drying. Bound SRB is solubilized with 100 µL of 10 mM Tris base (pH 10.5) and the absorbance read at 570 nm. Each concentration is tested in replications of 8 and each experiment is repeated twice. Data represent mean±SEM from two independent experiments combined.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
